Lean doesn’t mean what it sounds like

David Uth
Pastor David Uth (looks lean, eh?) last night at the 2016 Singing Trees performance.

 

Lean means…

  • simplicity
  • scalability
  • priority
  • freedom
  • joy

Clean up your own house first

Cinderella Castle and wordpress
Yesterday during Magic Kingdom visit.

 

Perhaps the saying, “Clean up your own house first”, would change the world.

Want others to fix their blind spots, you know, the things about them that annoy you?

Until our house in order, are we really in a position to be frustrated by another’s lack of change (of fixing themselves)?

My stiff neck theory

Stiff neck theory
It just came to me, out of nowhere.

 

Our necks slowly become stiff because we lose our awe and wonder and subsequent looking around.

Our neck.

Don’t use it, we lose it.

On April Fool’s Day 2009, jeff noel began writing five daily, differently-themed blogs (on five different sites). It was to be a 100-day self-imposed “writer’s bootcamp”, in preparation for writing his first book. He hasn’t missed a single day since.

 

Before we decide

Running app
Flying to Louisville in a couple hours. Last thing i have time for is an hour unrelated to the trip. From this morning…clock doesn’t include 10 more minutes of walking cool down.

 

Before we decide, we should quiet our mind so we can begin to truly hear.

If we can’t hear the truth about why we need to create our own personal wellness commitment, we will always have great (and easy) excuses for never addressing this.

Thankful for an easy list

Airport departure list
Thankful to have a smartphone that doubles as a camera. Board at Gate 12.

 

Thankful for:

  • Having the funds to buy three roundtrip tickets.
  • Having time off to travel.
  • Having someone to visit.
  • Having a safe aviation system
  • Having a reliable car to make the one-hour drive to airport.
  • Having people to travel with me.
  • Having funds to rent a car in Allentown.
  • Having 93 and 90-year old In-Laws who still recognize our faces.
  • Being able to have a paperless boarding pass.
  • Being able to check-in online with my phone, especially from the Nursing Home.

This is tip-of-the-iceberg stuff.

The list goes on and on and literally never ends.

Does this mean i’m oblivious to the long-list of challenges, frustrations, and disappointments?
